Caffé Latte Caffé latte as we Americans know it is far different from it’s European counterpart. In Europe, caffé latte consists of one part espresso and three parts frothed milk, the two poured simultaneously into a large bowl or wide mouth cup. It is the favorite breakfast drink of southern Europeans. Here in America we have our own version or versions depending on where we live and who is making the latte. Usually the proportions are the same but, with the wide variety of flavorings available, an extra element is added to the latte which changes the whole equation. Caffé latte is often one part espresso to two and one half parts frothed milk and the extra ½ part is a flavoring. Then it is often topped with whipping cream. All in all, American Caffé Latte is almost a dessert with the delicious flavors, creams, and toppings which make it sinfully decadent.
